Dev team, please consider bringing back SCH's Fey Wind.

[RilleySkyler]

Fey Wind was originally the ability that attracted me to SCH in ARR because it gave them one of the few (or only, I don't remember) dps boost support abilities in the game. Once AST came along in HW, the ability still felt unique because of it's on-use effect. Even if the effect was average or even below average compared to the pure dmg boost AST brought, it still provided an ability no other job in the game had.

While SCH's throughput has increased since ARR, I still feel like they're still missing something like Fey Wind to round out their arsenal - even if this ability is reworked a bit.

Lastly, and I'm possibly making a huge assumption here, I feel like making this change wouldn't require a significant amount of coding since it has existed as an ability in the past even if the faeries have been reworked a bit. I'd be interested in hearing other people's thoughts though!

I'd love nothing more than to have my unique fairies back, along with all the DPS abilities they took away. I wouldn't count on it though, this expac has shown me SE doesn't give 2 s**** about SCH or healers in general. I doubt they'll ever be anything more than "WHM but with some more oGCDs", because that's apparently impossible to balance.

[Saefinn]

There's a lot I think we'd like back, this being one. I loved the idea of a heal focused faerie and a utility faerie. Scholars are meant to be strategists, meaning their tool kit needs to be adaptable.

It seems SE has just taken almost everything away from SCH to do when their healing is sufficient that gave it flavour.

I'm still mad that they have killed Selene and the sch's lore just cause they cannot balance healers..... seriously....

Don't forget SE reworking AST's cards when it wasn't asked for. I can understand them wanting to balance healers but ripping out their identity and making them the same was not the way to go.

If they do bring back Fey Wind, I think I’d prefer if they move it towards a straight damage buff (maybe crit rate to combo with Chain Strategem?) rather than the haste buff. As cool as a haste buff is, it’s kinda annoying to play around on other jobs if you have specific GCDs that work better (stuff like high latency can get messed up with haste as an example). Heck, they could bring back the old ARR version where Selene alternates between two unique buffs that can’t stack with each other (just change the hastes to something else).

Absolutely agree.

Good point. It's like they don't even have a clue what most players identify with while playing the very jobs they've designed.

I personally would like them to fix the faerie bugs first.

I really miss the old Selene abilities. I used to run everything with her out, knowing full well it was inefficient because I had more fun that way. I got to use Emergency Tactics and deployment more and felt more like a healer with a fairy instead of a dps with a healer.
